Does Snorting Cocaine, Ketamine And MDMA Cause Trigeminal Nerve Damage?

Does snorting cocaine, ketamine and MDMA, cause trigeminal nerve damage to the point of causing neuralgia after years of weekend abuse initially, becoming daily and leading to legal highs with random chemicals being packed into my synuses and leaving me an opioid addict hooked on heroine and methadone. Now I am worried that I have given my self trigeminal neuralgia. And I am not sure my gp will pick up on it.
